== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I set my WhatsApp number? =

Go to **Settings > Smart Chat Button** and enter your WhatsApp number **with country code**, but without any special characters like `+`, `-`, `(`, `)` or spaces.

Example:  
✅ Use: `15551234567`  
❌ Don't use: `+1 (555) 123-4567`

= Can I change the position of the button? =

Yes! You can choose between **Bottom Left** or **Bottom Right** positions from the settings page.

= How can I display the button only on WooCommerce product pages? =

Enable the option **"Only Show on Product Pages (WooCommerce)"** in the settings. This will hide the button on all non-product pages.

= Can I add a prefilled message? =

Yes! Enter your desired text in the **Default Message** field. You can also use `{product_title}` as a variable when using WooCommerce integration.

= Is this plugin translation ready? =

Yes! The plugin uses standard WordPress internationalization functions (`__()` and `echo esc_html__()`), and comes with a `.pot` file inside the `languages` directory. You can easily translate it into any language using tools like Loco Translate or Poedit.

= Does this plugin affect site speed? =

No! It’s built with performance in mind. No external JavaScript libraries or unnecessary assets are loaded. Only a small inline CSS and script in footer.
